Zunum Aero, a pioneer in electric aviation, is developing regional hybrid-electric aircraft for the early 2020s, offering unmatched door-to-door speeds and reduced costs for flights from 700 miles at launch, to over 1,000 miles by 2030.
Zunum Aero aircraft are designed to take aviation into the future: enabling frequent service to the nation’s network of over 5,000 underutilized regional and general aviation airports.
These 10 to 50 seat aircraft will pave the way to a golden era of fast and affordable electric air travel, reversing the 70 year consolidation of air services.
Zunum Aero is backed by Boeing (NYSE: BA) and JetBlue TechnologyVentures, a subsidiary of JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU); both believe that regional travel is ripe for transformation.
With multiple patented technologies already in place, Zunum Aero has designed an innovative class of hybrid-electric aircraft and is developing technologies to create a regional electric air network.
These aircraft, as part of new regional electric air networks, will offer a fast, flexible and affordable alternative to highways and high-speed rail, operating point-to-point and as feeders to hub airports.
By shifting traffic from hubs to regional airports, Zunum Aero is democratizing access to fast and affordable travel.
Designing aircraft for walk-on, walk-off travel from nearby airports addresses the major pain points of modern air transit while filling a vast regional transport gap.
For example, passengers can expect to travel from regional airports in the Boston area to Washington, DC for half the fare and in half the time it takes today door-to-door.
Among the many advantages hybrid aircraft will offer, according to Zunum, are -
1. Decrease door-to-door travel times on busy corridors by 40 percent and cut travel time on less-trafficked corridors by 80 percent;
2. Sharply reduce operating costs, enabling ticket prices 40-80 percent below current fares;
3. Cut emissions by 80 percent, falling to zero over time as battery densities improve; and
4. Cut community noise 75 percent, enabling all-hours access to smaller airports.
Zunum has been working with the United States Federal Aviation Administration since 2014 to drive development of certification standards for electric aircraft,a complete set of which is expected by 2018.
The first electrics are likely to become certified in 2020.

7. FLS micro Jet
The FLS Microjet is a high performance, aerobatic, single seat, low-wing, all metal, jet-powered aircraft built from an amateur home builder kit.
The design was originally developed in the 1970’s by Jim Bede of Bede Aircraft, Inc. and designated as the BD-5. It was a public sensation and fueled home builders with dreams of owning a high performance propeller or jet aircraft at a fraction of the normal cost.
The BD-5 was dubbed “The World’s Smallest Jet” and quickly earned a reputation as James Bond’s jet when it was featured in the movie “Octopussy.”
6.eclipse 400 (eclips concept jet)
We added this incredible mini plane because its the worlds smallest Passenger jet (meaning more than 1 person)
The Eclipse 400 was first publicly unveiled on 23 July 2007 at AirVentureair show as the EclipseConcept Jet. The Eclipse 400 design featured one engine, four seats and a V-tail.
5. Sky Baby
The aircraft is an enclosed single engine biplane with conventional landing gear.
The aircraft was test flown by Bob Starr on 26 May 1952 at Palm Springs, California. The short coupled aircraft was originally built with tricycle landing gear, which was dropped in favor of the lighter tail-wheel arrangement. The aircraft required a 170 lb (77 kg) pilot to remain within the center of gravity and was only flown by pilots Starr and Lester Cole that met the criteria.
The aircraft performed publicity flights to promote an airshow act. It was retired in October 1952 after 25 hours of flight time.
4.Bumble Bee
The Bumble Bee was designed and built for the sole purpose of taking the record for the world's smallest aircraft. Robert Starr had been involved as pilot and designer in two previous record holding smallest aircraft dating back to 1949. Feeling that he had not received the amount of credit he was due for his participation in those efforts he decided to take the record for himself. In 1979, he began work on the Bumble Bee and after five years of design and construction the tiny aircraft was ready for flight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KakYw05LgYE
3.Stits DS-1 Baby Bird
In 1980, Don Stits designed the Baby Bird, a tiny, high-wing monoplane that was to be the smallest in the world. Don’s father, Ray Stits, designed the Sky Baby, which had held the title for smallest biplane since 1952. With the help of his wife, Lori, and their two children, the little airplane began to take shape.
2.McDonnell XF-85 GoblinXF-85 Goblin was an American prototype fighter aircraft conceived during World War II by McDonnell Aircraft. It was intended to be deployed from the bomb bay of the giant Convair B-36 bomber as a parasite fighter. The XF-85's intended role was to defend bombers from hostile interceptor aircraft, a need demonstrated during World War II. Two prototypes were constructed before the program was terminated.
1. Cri Cri Jet
The Colomban Cri-Cri is the smallest twin-engine manned aircraft in the world, designed in the early 1970s by French aeronautical engineer Michel Colomban.
The name Cri-Cri comes from the nickname of Christine, one of Colomban's daughters. Cri-cri' 'or 'cricri' is also the French term for the sound of a cricket or a cicada, or an informal name for the insects themselves,but it is unclear if this double meaning was intended by Colomban himself.

Aerobatic AirplaneExtra 330LE with world-record electric motor
from Siemens.
The approximately 1,000 kilogram “Extra 330LE” serves as a prototype for the new drive system – as an aerobatic airplane, it is particularly well suited for taking the components to their limits, testing them and enhancing their design.
The plane is designed for 20-minute flights, a period of time that includes takeoff, climbing and five minutes of full-performance flight.
The Extra 330 LE had its maiden public flight on July 4, 2016, in Dinslaken,
Germany. The record motor powered the aerobatic plane almost silently. It was
the first time that an electric plane had flown in the performance class of a quarter of a megawatt. This has opened the door for the development of hybrid electric planes with four or more seats. The new type of electric motor weighs just 50 kilograms, yet supplies permanent electrical power of around 260 kilowatts
– five times the level of comparable drive systems. Siemens plans to use the technology in its electric-flying partnership with Airbus that both companies set up in April 2016. Electric drives are scalable, and Siemens and Airbus will be using the record-setting motor as a basis for developing regional airliners powered by hybrid-electric propulsion systems.
Siemens expects to see the first planes with 100 passengers and a range of about 1,000 kilometers by 2030.
The company is committed to using the hybrid-electric
drive systems for aircraft as the basis for a future business.

ElectricPlane has arrived
MeetAlice, Evation’s ace in electric plane race
We have electric cars, trucks, mopeds, bikes and now we have electric planes too!
At Paris Air Show recently Eviation Aircraft Company based in Israel unveiled an electric plane that promises great future in aviation.
ImagineTesla car just with wings. Alice, is Eviation’s own ticket to the skies, made entirely out of composite and carbon fibber using 3D printing, is very light all electric aircraft that has purported range of nearly 1000km, 800km actual range.
Alice can reach 450kmph at 10 000m cruise altitude, capable of carrying up to 9 passengers + pilot and co-pilot, aircraft is powered by 280Kw powerplant. Alice weighs only 5900kg, this includes 980Kwh battery. Alice’s maximum payload is 1250kg,
Eviation is hoping aircraft will appeal to corporate as well as commercial market for small aircraft. Alice’s range makes the plane the ideal craft for an air-taxi, increasing the convenience of city-hopping whilst reducing the carbon footprint of short-distance flights.
A follow-on version of Eviation’s unusual airplane would seat as many as 13 people, cruise at 30,000 feet and be powered by aluminum fuel cell technology, for which Eviation already owns the intellectual property.
Price wise, Alice will retail between $2.6 - 4 million and be positioned as a competitor to the Pilatus PC-12 and Beech King Air 350.
Eviation, although not first in electric plane race, is quite bold in pushing the boundaries of what is possible. However, Tesla CEOElon Musk, has also plans for an electric plane. However, electric aircraft becomes possibility only once battery energy density exceeds 400 Wh/kg, while his Tesla vehicles are believed to be currently powered by battery cells with 250 to 300 Wh/kg.

Flying has gotten considerably cheaper, safer, faster, and even greener over the last 60 years. Today’s aircraft use roughly 80 percent less fuel per passenger-mile than the first jets of the 1950s, a testimony to the tremendous impact of engineering on the field. Joaquim Martins, an aerospace engineer from the University of Michigan, uses the Stampede supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to help design wings that reduce fuel use.

Future

The future is what will happen in the time after the present. Its arrival is considered inevitable due to the existence of time and the laws of physics. Due to the apparent nature of reality and the unavoidability of the future, everything that currently exists and will exist can be categorized as either permanent, meaning that it will exist forever, or temporary, meaning that it will end. The future and the concept of eternity have been major subjects of philosophy, religion, and science, and defining them non-controversially has consistently eluded the greatest of minds. In the Occidental view, which uses a linear conception of time, the future is the portion of the projected time line that is anticipated to occur. In special relativity, the future is considered absolute future, or the future light cone.

Currently flying electric aircraft are mostly experimental demonstrators, including manned and unmanned aerial vehicles. Electrically powered model aircraft have been flown since the 1970s, with one report in 1957. The first man-carrying electrically powered flights were made in 1973. In 2015, a manned, solar-powered plane, Solar Impulse, began a planned 5-month circumnavigation of the Earth.

electric field (see electrostatics): an especially simple type of electromagnetic field produced by an electric charge even when it is not moving (i.e., there is no electric current). The electric field produces a force on other charges in its vicinity.

Fly Safe, Fly Green, Fly Electric - The Coming Age of the Electric Aircraft
BREAKING NEWS :: Startup Wright Electric announces 150 seat 737 market competitor. Is the the first step to Commercial Electric Aviation?
https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/21/wright-electric-planes/
Zunum AeroHybrid ElectricPlane - Cheaper, Faster and Cleanerhttp://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/zunum-aero-hybrid-electric-planes-cheaper-faster-cleaner/
NASA's MaxwellX-57 - An electric plane with 80% reduction in fuel costs
http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/nasa-x57-maxwell-electric-aircraft/
Since the Wright brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk the mainstay of propulsion for aircraft has been the internal combustion (IC) engine.
Now significant improvements in battery technology are making it possible to fly electric airplanes on batteries.
WHY ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT?
There are two factors why electric aircraft are a compelling technology - Environmental and Engineering.
Stricter regulatory emissions standards are pushing electric aircraft development.
Electric motors are significantly mechanically simpler
Intrinsically more reliable
Can be fully enclosed from weather
Require less maintenance
WithoutIC engine vibrations to absorb, electric aircraft airframes can be lighter.
Vibration drives airframe fatigue so, fewer inspections are necessary.
Electric motor performance is not affected by the same environmental factors eg. temperature and air density
Positioning, orientation and the number of electric motors is far more flexible.
They can be mounted in different locations to improve aerodynamics.
Thrust vectoring can be used to reduce, or eliminate, control surfaces
reducing maintenance and lowering drag on the aircraft.
An electric airplane can recharge during descent with the motors becoming generators.
Regenerative soaring is a unique capability to harvest the energy from updrafts to extend range.
It's estimated that this source of in-flight recharging should exceed solar panels by 10 times.
Electric aircraft are safer in an accident as they don't carry flammable jet fuel.
Many electric planes are being developed around the world.
Airbus is producing the e-fan. Boeing has been researching electric aircaraft for NASA. The Skyspark is a very fast electric plane.
Performance is rapidly improving.

Aero-TV: The Future is Near - Aero Electric Aircraft Rolls Out The "Sun Flyer"

You Could BeFlying For One Dollar An Hour…
In May of 2015, the future got just a little bit closer. AeroElectric Aircraft Corporation rolled out their “Sun Flyer” solar electric airplane, initially, intended for the training market. During the rollout and introduction ceremony, Aero Electric AircraftCEO, George Bye, introduces us to this aircraft.
This initial prototype is operated through battery power only, but it’s expected that solar cells will be added to allow solar recharging of the batteries. Bye says that, because of the electric technology, when the final product is available the operating energy cost may be as low as one dollar per hour.
If the aircraft looks somewhat familiar, that’s because the proof of concept airframe itself is being provided from Arion Aircraft locate...

These 10 to 50 seat aircraft will pave the way to a golden era of fast and affordable electric air travel, reversing the 70 year consolidation of air services.
Zunum Aero is backed by Boeing (NYSE: BA) and JetBlue TechnologyVentures, a subsidiary of JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU); both believe that regional travel is ripe for transformation.
With multiple patented technologies already in place, Zunum Aero has designed an innovative class of hybrid-electric aircraft and is developing technologies to create a regional electric air network.
These aircraft, as part of new regional electric air networks, will offer a fast, flexible and affordable alternative to highways and high-speed rail, operating point-to-point and as feeders to hub airports.
By shifting traffic from hubs to regional airports, Zunum Aero is democratizing access to fast and affordable travel.
Designing aircraft for walk-on, walk-off travel from nearby airports addresses the major pain points of modern air transit while filling a vast regional transport gap.
For example, passengers can expect to travel from regional airports in the Boston area to Washington, DC for half the fare and in half the time it takes today door-to-door.
Among the many advantages hybrid aircraft will offer, according to Zunum, are -
1. Decrease door-to-door travel times on busy corridors by 40 percent and cut travel time on less-trafficked corridors by 80 percent;
2. Sharply reduce operating costs, enabling ticket prices 40-80 percent below current fares;
3. Cut emissions by 80 percent, falling to zero over time as battery densities improve; and
4. Cut community noise 75 percent, enabling all-hours access to smaller airports.
Zunum has been working with the United States Federal Aviation Administration since 2014 to drive development of certification standards for electric aircraft,a complete set of which is expected by 2018.
The first electrics are likely to become certified in 2020.

The Eclipse 400 was first publicly unveiled on 23 July 2007 at AirVentureair show as the EclipseConcept Jet. The Eclipse 400 design featured one engine, four seats and a V-tail.
5. Sky Baby
The aircraft is an enclosed single engine biplane with conventional landing gear.
The aircraft was test flown by Bob Starr on 26 May 1952 at Palm Springs, California. The short coupled aircraft was originally built with tricycle landing gear, which was dropped in favor of the lighter tail-wheel arrangement. The aircraft required a 170 lb (77 kg) pilot to remain within the center of gravity and was only flown by pilots Starr and Lester Cole that met the criteria.
The aircraft performed publicity flights to promote an airshow act. It was retired in October 1952 after 25 hours of flight time.
4.Bumble Bee
The Bumble Bee was designed and built for the sole purpose of taking the record for the world's smallest aircraft. Robert Starr had been involved as pilot and designer in two previous record holding smallest aircraft dating back to 1949. Feeling that he had not received the amount of credit he was due for his participation in those efforts he decided to take the record for himself. In 1979, he began work on the Bumble Bee and after five years of design and construction the tiny aircraft was ready for flight.

3.Stits DS-1 Baby Bird
In 1980, Don Stits designed the Baby Bird, a tiny, high-wing monoplane that was to be the smallest in the world. Don’s father, Ray Stits, designed the Sky Baby, which had held the title for smallest biplane since 1952. With the help of his wife, Lori, and their two children, the little airplane began to take shape.
2.McDonnell XF-85 GoblinXF-85 Goblin was an American prototype fighter aircraft conceived during World War II by McDonnell Aircraft. It was intended to be deployed from the bomb bay of the giant Convair B-36 bomber as a parasite fighter. The XF-85's intended role was to defend bombers from hostile interceptor aircraft, a need demonstrated during World War II. Two prototypes were constructed before the program was terminated.
1. Cri Cri Jet
The Colomban Cri-Cri is the smallest twin-engine manned aircraft in the world, designed in the early 1970s by French aeronautical engineer Michel Colomban.
The name Cri-Cri comes from the nickname of Christine, one of Colomban's daughters. Cri-cri' 'or 'cricri' is also the French term for the sound of a cricket or a cicada, or an informal name for the insects themselves,but it is unclear if this double meaning was intended by Colomban himself.

Aerobatic AirplaneExtra 330LE with world-record electric motor
from Siemens.
The approximately 1,000 kilogram “Extra 330LE” serves as a prototype for the new drive system – as an aerobatic airplane, it is particularly well suited for taking the components to their limits, testing them and enhancing their design.
The plane is designed for 20-minute flights, a period of time that includes takeoff, climbing and five minutes of full-performance flight.
The Extra 330 LE had its maiden public flight on July 4, 2016, in Dinslaken,
Germany. The record motor powered the aerobatic plane almost silently. It was
the first time that an electric plane had flown in the performance class of a quarter of a megawatt. This has opened the door for the development of hybrid electric planes with four or more seats. The new type of electric motor weighs just 50 kilograms, yet supplies permanent electrical power of around 260 kilowatts
– five times the level of comparable drive systems. Siemens plans to use the technology in its electric-flying partnership with Airbus that both companies set up in April 2016. Electric drives are scalable, and Siemens and Airbus will be using the record-setting motor as a basis for developing regional airliners powered by hybrid-electric propulsion systems.
Siemens expects to see the first planes with 100 passengers and a range of about 1,000 kilometers by 2030.
The company is committed to using the hybrid-electric
drive systems for aircraft as the basis for a future business.

The aircraft is named after Vecihi Hürkuş, a World War I and Turkish Independence War veteran pilot, a Turkish aviation pioneer and the first Turkish airplane manufacturer.
The Turkish government has indicated that the aircraft is expected to attract export sales, possibly from Middle Eastern countries, African countries or countries with limited air force budgets.
According to a news report from CNN Türk, Australia and Sweden are interested in the aircraft.
The Turkish Army is has an order for 15 Hürkuş-B aircraft plus an option for 40 more. Deliveries are scheduled for mid 2017
In February 2017, photos were released by the Turkish MoD showing the prototype for armed version, the Hürkuş-C

Aerobatic AirplaneExtra 330LE with world-record electric motor
from Siemens.
The approximately 1,000 kilogram “Extra 330LE” serves as a prototype for the new drive system – as an aerobatic airplane, it is particularly well suited for taking the components to their limits, testing them and enhancing their design.
The plane is designed for 20-minute flights, a period of time that includes takeoff, climbing and five minutes of full-performance flight.
The Extra 330 LE had its maiden public flight on July 4, 2016, in Dinslaken,
Germany. The record motor powered the aerobatic plane almost silently. It was
the first time that an electric plane had flown in the performance class of a quarter of a megawatt. This has opened the door for the development of hybrid electric planes with four or more seats. The new type of electric motor weighs just 50 kilograms, yet supplies permanent electrical power of around 260 kilowatts
– five times the level of comparable drive systems. Siemens plans to use the technology in its electric-flying partnership with Airbus that both companies set up in April 2016. Electric drives are scalable, and Siemens and Airbus will be using the record-setting motor as a basis for developing regional airliners powered by hybrid-electric propulsion systems.
Siemens expects to see the first planes with 100 passengers and a range of about 1,000 kilometers by 2030.
The company is committed to using the hybrid-electric
drive systems for aircraft as the basis for a future business.

MeetAlice, Evation’s ace in electric plane race
We have electric cars, trucks, mopeds, bikes and now we have electric planes too!
At Paris Air Show recently Eviation Aircraft Company based in Israel unveiled an electric plane that promises great future in aviation.
ImagineTesla car just with wings. Alice, is Eviation’s own ticket to the skies, made entirely out of composite and carbon fibber using 3D printing, is very light all electric aircraft that has purported range of nearly 1000km, 800km actual range.
Alice can reach 450kmph at 10 000m cruise altitude, capable of carrying up to 9 passengers + pilot and co-pilot, aircraft is powered by 280Kw powerplant. Alice weighs only 5900kg, this includes 980Kwh battery. Alice’s maximum payload is 1250kg,
Eviation is hoping aircraft will appeal to corporate as well as commercial market for small aircraft. Alice’s range makes the plane the ideal craft for an air-taxi, increasing the convenience of city-hopping whilst reducing the carbon footprint of short-distance flights.
A follow-on version of Eviation’s unusual airplane would seat as many as 13 people, cruise at 30,000 feet and be powered by aluminum fuel cell technology, for which Eviation already owns the intellectual property.
Price wise, Alice will retail between $2.6 - 4 million and be positioned as a competitor to the Pilatus PC-12 and Beech King Air 350.
Eviation, although not first in electric plane race, is quite bold in pushing the boundaries of what is possible. However, Tesla CEOElon Musk, has also plans for an electric plane. However, electric aircraft becomes possibility only once battery energy density exceeds 400 Wh/kg, while his Tesla vehicles are believed to be currently powered by battery cells with 250 to 300 Wh/kg.

Flying has gotten considerably cheaper, safer, faster, and even greener over the last 60 years. Today’s aircraft use roughly 80 percent less fuel per passenger-mile than the first jets of the 1950s, a testimony to the tremendous impact of engineering on the field. Joaquim Martins, an aerospace engineer from the University of Michigan, uses the Stampede supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to help design wings that reduce fuel use.

NASA's MaxwellX-57 - An electric plane with 80% reduction in fuel costs
http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/nasa-x57-maxwell-electric-aircraft/
Since the Wright brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk the mainstay of propulsion for aircraft has been the internal combustion (IC) engine.
Now significant improvements in battery technology are making it possible to fly electric airplanes on batteries.
WHY ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT?
There are two factors why electric aircraft are a compelling technology - Environmental and Engineering.
Stricter regulatory emissions standards are pushing electric aircraft development.
Electric motors are significantly mechanically simpler
Intrinsically more reliable
Can be fully enclosed from weather
Require less maintenance
WithoutIC engine vibrations to absorb, electric aircraft airframes can be lighter.
Vibration drives airframe fatigue so, fewer inspections are necessary.
Electric motor performance is not affected by the same environmental factors eg. temperature and air density
Positioning, orientation and the number of electric motors is far more flexible.
They can be mounted in different locations to improve aerodynamics.
Thrust vectoring can be used to reduce, or eliminate, control surfaces
reducing maintenance and lowering drag on the aircraft.
An electric airplane can recharge during descent with the motors becoming generators.
Regenerative soaring is a unique capability to harvest the energy from updrafts to extend range.
It's estimated that this source of in-flight recharging should exceed solar panels by 10 times.
Electric aircraft are safer in an accident as they don't carry flammable jet fuel.
Many electric planes are being developed around the world.
Airbus is producing the e-fan. Boeing has been researching electric aircaraft for NASA. The Skyspark is a very fast electric plane.
Performance is rapidly improving.

Towards the end of the summer, I wanted to visit London once again but this time, instead of driving there and back for 4 hours, I decided to book a cheap flight with Flybe from Exeter (my nearest airport) to London City. This was a very exciting and new experience for me as it was my very first time flying in and out from both airports, my first flight on a Q400 and my first UK domestic flight. The aircraft was quite empty with about a little over half the seats occupied. It was a beautiful clear day in the UK so I got some very nice views of London on the approach. The flight itself was very enjoyable with an on-time departure and arrival, very friendly cabin crew and pilots, made better by the fact that I had two seats to myself giving me loads of space.

Hi all, while on my stopover in Zurich I thought why not visit their 'ObservationDeck B', being as I had valid Boarding passes, so I got free entry as well! Which was even better. The observation deck was brilliant and certainly had a fantastic view of the airport.
It was a rather chilly day with temperatures sitting around 3 degrees, I spent around 2 hours on the observation deck and was amazed at the amount of traffic I caught within a short space of time. Quite an interesting airport with lots of interesting heavies, some lovely close ups and more!

Zunum Aero, a pioneer in electric aviation, is developing regional hybrid-electric aircraft for the early 2020s, offering unmatched door-to-door speeds and reduced costs for flights from 700 miles at launch, to over 1,000 miles by 2030.
Zunum Aero aircraft are designed to take aviation into the future: enabling frequent service to the nation’s network of over 5,000 underutilized regional and general aviation airports.
These 10 to 50 seat aircraft will pave the way to a golden era of fast and affordable electric air travel, reversing the 70 year consolidation of air services.
Zunum Aero is backed by Boeing (NYSE: BA) and JetBlue TechnologyVentures, a subsidiary of JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU); both believe that regional travel is ripe for transformation.
With multiple patented technologies already in place, Zunum Aero has designed an innovative class of hybrid-electric aircraft and is developing technologies to create a regional electric air network.
These aircraft, as part of new regional electric air networks, will offer a fast, flexible and affordable alternative to highways and high-speed rail, operating point-to-point and as feeders to hub airports.
By shifting traffic from hubs to regional airports, Zunum Aero is democratizing access to fast and affordable travel.
Designing aircraft for walk-on, walk-off travel from nearby airports addresses the major pain points of modern air transit while filling a vast regional transport gap.
For example, passengers can expect to travel from regional airports in the Boston area to Washington, DC for half the fare and in half the time it takes today door-to-door.
Among the many advantages hybrid aircraft will offer, according to Zunum, are -
1. Decrease door-to-door travel times on busy corridors by 40 percent and cut travel time on less-trafficked corridors by 80 percent;
2. Sharply reduce operating costs, enabling ticket prices 40-80 percent below current fares;
3. Cut emissions by 80 percent, falling to zero over time as battery densities improve; and
4. Cut community noise 75 percent, enabling all-hours access to smaller airports.
Zunum has been working with the United States Federal Aviation Administration since 2014 to drive development of certification standards for electric aircraft,a complete set of which is expected by 2018.
The first electrics are likely to become certified in 2020.

FEATURED AIRPLANES & JETS⭐
7. FLS micro Jet
The FLS Microjet is a high performance, aerobatic, single seat, low-wing, all metal, jet-powered aircraft built from an amateur home builder kit.
The design was originally developed in the 1970’s by Jim Bede of Bede Aircraft, Inc. and designated as the BD-5. It was a public sensation and fueled home builders with dreams of owning a high performance propeller or jet aircraft at a fraction of the normal cost.
The BD-5 was dubbed “The World’s Smallest Jet” and quickly earned a reputation as James Bond’s jet when it was featured in the movie “Octopussy.”
6.eclipse 400 (eclips concept jet)
We added this incredible mini plane because its the worlds smallest Passenger jet (meaning more than 1 person)
The Eclipse 400 was first publicly unveiled on 23 July 2007 at AirVentureair show as the EclipseConcept Jet. The Eclipse 400 design featured one engine, four seats and a V-tail.
5. Sky Baby
The aircraft is an enclosed single engine biplane with conventional landing gear.
The aircraft was test flown by Bob Starr on 26 May 1952 at Palm Springs, California. The short coupled aircraft was originally built with tricycle landing gear, which was dropped in favor of the lighter tail-wheel arrangement. The aircraft required a 170 lb (77 kg) pilot to remain within the center of gravity and was only flown by pilots Starr and Lester Cole that met the criteria.
The aircraft performed publicity flights to promote an airshow act. It was retired in October 1952 after 25 hours of flight time.
4.Bumble Bee
The Bumble Bee was designed and built for the sole purpose of taking the record for the world's smallest aircraft. Robert Starr had been involved as pilot and designer in two previous record holding smallest aircraft dating back to 1949. Feeling that he had not received the amount of credit he was due for his participation in those efforts he decided to take the record for himself. In 1979, he began work on the Bumble Bee and after five years of design and construction the tiny aircraft was ready for flight.

3.Stits DS-1 Baby Bird
In 1980, Don Stits designed the Baby Bird, a tiny, high-wing monoplane that was to be the smallest in the world. Don’s father, Ray Stits, designed the Sky Baby, which had held the title for smallest biplane since 1952. With the help of his wife, Lori, and their two children, the little airplane began to take shape.
2.McDonnell XF-85 GoblinXF-85 Goblin was an American prototype fighter aircraft conceived during World War II by McDonnell Aircraft. It was intended to be deployed from the bomb bay of the giant Convair B-36 bomber as a parasite fighter. The XF-85's intended role was to defend bombers from hostile interceptor aircraft, a need demonstrated during World War II. Two prototypes were constructed before the program was terminated.
1. Cri Cri Jet
The Colomban Cri-Cri is the smallest twin-engine manned aircraft in the world, designed in the early 1970s by French aeronautical engineer Michel Colomban.
The name Cri-Cri comes from the nickname of Christine, one of Colomban's daughters. Cri-cri' 'or 'cricri' is also the French term for the sound of a cricket or a cicada, or an informal name for the insects themselves,but it is unclear if this double meaning was intended by Colomban himself.

Boom is bringing back commercial supersonic flight

Commercial travelers haven't had a supersonic option since the Concorde stopped flying in 2003, ending 3.5 hour trips from New York to Paris. Boom thinks it can make supersonic passenger jet flight cost-effective for any airliner, across more routes.

Aerobatic AirplaneExtra 330LE with world-record electric motor
from Siemens.
The approximately 1,000 kilogram “Extra 330LE” serves as a prototype for the new drive system – as an aerobatic airplane, it is particularly well suited for taking the components to their limits, testing them and enhancing their design.
The plane is designed for 20-minute flights, a period of time that includes takeoff, climbing and five minutes of full-performance flight.
The Extra 330 LE had its maiden public flight on July 4, 2016, in Dinslaken,
Germany. The record motor powered the aerobatic plane almost silently. It was
the first time that an electric plane had flown in the performance class of a quarter of a megawatt. This has opened the door for the development of hybrid electric planes with four or more seats. The new type of electric motor weighs just 50 kilograms, yet supplies permanent electrical power of around 260 kilowatts
– five times the level of comparable drive systems. Siemens plans to use the technology in its electric-flying partnership with Airbus that both companies set up in April 2016. Electric drives are scalable, and Siemens and Airbus will be using the record-setting motor as a basis for developing regional airliners powered by hybrid-electric propulsion systems.
Siemens expects to see the first planes with 100 passengers and a range of about 1,000 kilometers by 2030.
The company is committed to using the hybrid-electric
drive systems for aircraft as the basis for a future business.

World's First Electric Passenger Plane "Alice" Electric Plane

ElectricPlane has arrived
MeetAlice, Evation’s ace in electric plane race
We have electric cars, trucks, mopeds, bikes and now we have electric planes too!
At Paris Air Show recently Eviation Aircraft Company based in Israel unveiled an electric plane that promises great future in aviation.
ImagineTesla car just with wings. Alice, is Eviation’s own ticket to the skies, made entirely out of composite and carbon fibber using 3D printing, is very light all electric aircraft that has purported range of nearly 1000km, 800km actual range.
Alice can reach 450kmph at 10 000m cruise altitude, capable of carrying up to 9 passengers + pilot and co-pilot, aircraft is powered by 280Kw powerplant. Alice weighs only 5900kg, this includes 980Kwh battery. Alice’s maximum payload is 1250kg,
Eviation is hoping aircraft will appeal to corporate as well as commercial market for small aircraft. Alice’s range makes the plane the ideal craft for an air-taxi, increasing the convenience of city-hopping whilst reducing the carbon footprint of short-distance flights.
A follow-on version of Eviation’s unusual airplane would seat as many as 13 people, cruise at 30,000 feet and be powered by aluminum fuel cell technology, for which Eviation already owns the intellectual property.
Price wise, Alice will retail between $2.6 - 4 million and be positioned as a competitor to the Pilatus PC-12 and Beech King Air 350.
Eviation, although not first in electric plane race, is quite bold in pushing the boundaries of what is possible. However, Tesla CEOElon Musk, has also plans for an electric plane. However, electric aircraft becomes possibility only once battery energy density exceeds 400 Wh/kg, while his Tesla vehicles are believed to be currently powered by battery cells with 250 to 300 Wh/kg.

Designing the Fuel-Efficient Aircraft of the Future

Flying has gotten considerably cheaper, safer, faster, and even greener over the last 60 years. Today’s aircraft use roughly 80 percent less fuel per passenger-mile than the first jets of the 1950s, a testimony to the tremendous impact of engineering on the field. Joaquim Martins, an aerospace engineer from the University of Michigan, uses the Stampede supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to help design wings that reduce fuel use.

NASA's MaxwellX-57 - An electric plane with 80% reduction in fuel costs
http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/nasa-x57-maxwell-electric-aircraft/
Since the Wright brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk the mainstay of propulsion for aircraft has been the internal combustion (IC) engine.
Now significant improvements in battery technology are making it possible to fly electric airplanes on batteries.
WHY ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT?
There are two factors why electric aircraft are a compelling technology - Environmental and Engineering.
Stricter regulatory emissions standards are pushing electric aircraft development.
Electric motors are significantly mechanically simpler
Intrinsically more reliable
Can be fully enclosed from weather
Require less maintenance
WithoutIC engine vibrations to absorb, electric aircraft airframes can be lighter.
Vibration drives airframe fatigue so, fewer inspections are necessary.
Electric motor performance is not affected by the same environmental factors eg. temperature and air density
Positioning, orientation and the number of electric motors is far more flexible.
They can be mounted in different locations to improve aerodynamics.
Thrust vectoring can be used to reduce, or eliminate, control surfaces
reducing maintenance and lowering drag on the aircraft.
An electric airplane can recharge during descent with the motors becoming generators.
Regenerative soaring is a unique capability to harvest the energy from updrafts to extend range.
It's estimated that this source of in-flight recharging should exceed solar panels by 10 times.
Electric aircraft are safer in an accident as they don't carry flammable jet fuel.
Many electric planes are being developed around the world.
Airbus is producing the e-fan. Boeing has been researching electric aircaraft for NASA. The Skyspark is a very fast electric plane.
Performance is rapidly improving.

Towards the end of the summer, I wanted to visit London once again but this time, instead of driving there and back for 4 hours, I decided to book a cheap flight with Flybe from Exeter (my nearest airport) to London City. This was a very exciting and new experience for me as it was my very first time flying in and out from both airports, my first flight on a Q400 and my first UK domestic flight. The aircraft was quite empty with about a little over half the seats occupied. It was a beautiful clear day in the UK so I got some very nice views of London on the approach. The flight itself was very enjoyable with an on-time departure and arrival, very friendly cabin crew and pilots, made better by the fact that I had two seats to myself giving me loads of space. The sound was quite loud as I sat right next to the prop and the vibrations were noticeable. Other than that, it was one of the best flights I've had and I'm excited for any future flights with Flybe.

Hi all, while on my stopover in Zurich I thought why not visit their 'ObservationDeck B', being as I had valid Boarding passes, so I got free entry as well! Which was even better. The observation deck was brilliant and certainly had a fantastic view of the airport.
It was a rather chilly day with temperatures sitting around 3 degrees, I spent around 2 hours on the observation deck and was amazed at the amount of traffic I caught within a short space of time. Quite an interesting airport with lots of interesting heavies, some lovely close ups and more!
Video includes: SwissBoeing 777's, A330-300's, A340-300's, A320's, A321's, CS300's and CS100's, Cathay Pacific777, Thai 777, Air ChinaA330-200, United 767-300, Turkish A321, Edelweiss A320's, Pegasus A320, AtlasGlobal A321, Alitalia E175, HelveticE190's, Iberia A320 + More!
I will certainly be wanting to visit here again in the future, some of the movements I came for such as the Edelweiss heavies I did not see, and departed later when I was in the terminal. So that means I will have to make another visit again some time! Other than that, a nice variety of airlines and aircraft here.
Apologies for the viewing terrace roof obscuring the view after some of the departures. Nothing I could do about that I'm afraid
